srarss' SHOE-POLISH-APPLYING BRUSH.

Application filed August 18, 1920. Serial NO. 404,328.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ems B. BURRELL, a subject of the Kingdom of GreatBritain, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Polish-Applying Brushes, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in h shoe polish applying brushand has for its object to provide a simple, cheap and eiiicient devicefor applying paste to shoes to be polished.

The invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of theparts hereinafter more fully set forth in the following specificationand pointed out in detail in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawing,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my in vention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1. s Figure 3 is a verticalsection of the cylindrical end of the brush and rubber disk.

Figure 4: is a detail section of the cylindrical end of the brush.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming part of thisspecification and in which like reference numerals designate like partsthroughout the several views thereof, 1 designates a handle which ismade of wire and 2 the metal cylinder which is provided with anextension 3, said extension and upper end of said cylinder 2 being bentover the outer ends of the Wire forming the handle 1. The bristles 4:are secured in the cylinder 2 and have their lower ends projecting belowsaid cylinder. The disk :3

which is made of rubber or other suitable material is glued or otherwisesecured in the upper end of the disk 2 and has its upper surfacecorrugated. The polishing paste is removed from the box containing sameby rubbing the corrugated surface of the disk 5 over the pastewhichremoves sufficient of the latter from the box and is then appliedto the shoe to be polished by rubbing the corrugated surface of the disk5 over the surface of the shoe.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is,

A shoe polish applying brush comprising a wire handle, a metal cylinderhaving a flanged upper edge and an extension on one side of said flange,the upper flange and extension being bent around the ends of saidhandle, bristles projecting below said cylinder, and a flexible disksecured in said cylinder and pro3ecting above the said fiange and havinga-serrated outer'surface.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ELLIS B. BURRELL.
